not positive, but i don't think CHAMPVA/TriCare(if that is what you have) is a secondary payer, meaning if you have primary insurance they won't cover what it doesn't payHow about we abolish The VA and use the money to pay for vouchers for Veterans to see civilian doctors?
No, no, no.....you don’t deserve that help from the government. Only illegal aliens and refugees deserve that help. Free of charge from the US taxpayer. /sarc
“The report said that between April 1 and Sept. 30, 2017, veterans who got emergency care at non-VA facilities were forced to pay $53.3 million in medical bills they never should have had to pay.”
Left over of Obama’s legacy. And he is worried Biden will screw that up. His legacy is “The worst President in America’s history and he is desperately trying to hold on to that.

What percentage is you VA disability? It matters.
Also, was the surgery on your neck outpatient, something that could be done by a clinic rather than a hospital emergency room?
I ask because I have never received anything but Platinum level care from the VA, and it never cost me a single penny. They have sent me to several private medical enterprises...still never a penny.
Hell, it’s better than platinum level care, it’s Presidential level.
First off, the VA is very good most of the time. From where I sit, they often do better then a regular hospital.
One thing I did learn is the next time an ambulance gives me a ride to the emergency room I will pay the near thousand dollars to have them bypass the local hospitals and have them take me to the VA. It will be cheaper.
